TheRobster5555 Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 Looks like I celebrated too soon, I've reinstalled Sierra twice exactly like the guide and if I boot with no parameters I get a memory allocation error, but if I boot with -f, I can get in, but i would like it to boot up without me having to intercept the boot up sequence to type in -f. Ps: I did try reseating the memory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 2, 2017 Moderators Share Posted December 2, 2017 Repair permission and rebuild cache, then try booting without -f sudo chmod -Rf 755 /L*/E* sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /L*/E* sudo touch -f /L*/E* sudo chmod -Rf 755 /S*/L*/E* sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /S*/L*/E* sudo touch -f /S*/L*/E* sudo kextcache -Boot -U / Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRobster5555 Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 Tried doing that, same error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted December 3, 2017 Administrators Share Posted December 3, 2017 If you want to boot without cache, you need to use boot options KernelBooter_kexts=Yes -f. Kexts will then load from /E/E because /L/E is ignored when booting without cache. You may add -v for verbose mode. This error message is due to an incorrect or missing cache/prelinked kernel. So, once you've booted up, rebuild you cache/prelinked kernel. Refer to the FAQ forum section for guidance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRobster5555 Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 Btw I've got the doc div and usb working in Sierra just fine, no issues whatsoever! So you can add the dock to supported Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRobster5555 Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 I also found another thing that works; the 2nd HDD caddy works, and picks up my drive and partitions just fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted December 13, 2017 Administrators Share Posted December 13, 2017 Yes, we all know that too; it's a rather old machine that has been discussed under all possible angles many many years ago you know. 'not sure we need to revisit it all again.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRobster5555 Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Sorry, was just going over the list of supported/unsupported stuff on your guide to see what was tested and what was not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
